As I get ready to go to Nas's concert tonight at Hunter College-- instead of being overwhelmingly happy and thinking about his lyrical contributions to society I'm saddened. The news just broke yesterday that while in her 3rd trimester of pregnancy, Kelis has filed for divorce from Nasir Jones. The funky songbird just started her 7th month... Check out what was said on the issue:
The U.S. hip-hop couple of Nas and his wife Kelis are breaking up with Kelis, who is pregnant, filing for divorce in Los Angeles, her representative said.
"I can confirm that she has filed for divorce," Kelis' representative told Vibe Magazine Thursday. "We request the media to respect her privacy during this very difficult time."
Rumor has it that they had both cheated-- and some even speculate that Wendy Williams is in possession of a sex-tape starring Kelis and rapper Infa-Red... I don't believe it. I won't believe it. Not til I see it at least. I always saw Kelis and Nas as hip-hop's first couple-- a true ride or die team:
His laid back, old-soul jazzy style-- with her edgy, head-strong super-funky style was such a good match-- even the angels in heaven were jealous, so what gives? Obviously this was something irreconcilable as Kelis makes this decision while she is with-child. That probably saddens me the most in this whole ordeal. Just a couple weeks ago they seemed ok:
I love Kelis to death-- truly. I am going to miss these two together, but I can't lie. I always wished in the deep dark corners of my mind that she ended up with Pharrell. I just thought that was so ideal. Nas being a VERY close second. As I get amped for Nas' performance later on tonight, it will be with a heavy-heart. And I hope that it doesn't affect his mood and performance, though I can't say I'd be surprised if it did. We're working on press-access people, so hold tight. I wish them both the best.

WOOOOWWWW... thats all i really have to say. This was very unexpected. although they both seemed very happy they kept thier relationship very private, so i guess i really wouldnt expect this. I love these two together and I'm very sad they are deciding to split but at the end of the day they have to do whats best for them! :(
ReplyDeleteMan, this is sad news. I thought they were one of the few hollyweird couples who kept it real. but, that just goes to show you never know whats going on at home. But it must have been bad if she's leaving barefoot and preggers. These are the hardest months, so I'm sure this was a decision she made b/c she felt she had no other choice. I wish them both well in whatever is to come for each of them next. And I agree with you on the Pharell statement, who knows...stranger things have happened:)
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, and kudos on the pics you used in the article, it really seemed to capture the couple at their best.
ReplyDeleteI <3 them together.
ReplyDeleteSigh.
